HC Deb 22 February 1977 vol 926 c525W
44. Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the numbers, makes and types of foreign vehicles purchased by his Department during the past three years.

Mr. Alfred Morris

During the past three years, 420 Renault 4 vehicles have been purchased for use by eligible disabled persons in the United Kingdom. The four-wheeled vehicle normally provided is the British Leyland Mini. This will not meet the needs of some disabled people, however, and for these the ease of access and greater headroom provided by the Renault 4 make it the most suitable vehicle.
